Q1 Lakeside Race 8 - The Q Melbourne Cup
GORDON KEEPING (4) In the money when 2nd last run at this track. Looking sharp on the track this campaign. Looks to be value. PENNY CALIDO (1) Tidy run when 3rd last run at Q2 Parklands and has the ideal box. Has good early speed and will be nicely positioned. Performing impressively since returning from a break. Goes very close. BEST SUMMER (3) Good win last start at Q2 Parklands. Can give this a shake. OUTPLAYED (2) Showed promise when winning last time around here. Could work into the placings.
